So last night I dreamt I was watching Countdown with the intent of recapping it, and things got... interesting. The person in the champion's chair was a male Apterite and clearly part of the 900-club/CoC material crowd, and he was facing off against an elderly woman named Debra Nycholls (spelling on...

You can come back after 5 years. Zarte did. I think that is dependant on how the opponent does, as Zarte lost to a CoC champ, but Alan seems capable, so we will see how he does, as if he octos, that may help Chris out, but I am not sure as to whether that is an official or unofficial stance. Don't ...

Sorry dude -- couldn't get access to the subtitles file today, which is usually how I've been transcribing them. Are there subtitles for this episode on 4oD for you? I can't tell if they're down for everyone or just me...

I'll be really surprised (and disappointed) if mike doesn't make the 800 club After today, I honestly don't think he's that likely to anymore -- he'd need his highest score so far (115) to qualify. Still doable by all means if he gets a niner, though, and he's also probably going to yet again make ...

Were any of the CoC shows billed as being the 7000th episode? Officially that won't be until the second week of Series 80 proper, but the celebrations of "thousandth" episodes have tended to be slightly before the actual ones.

After the letter D was put up in Round 8 (PLAUDIT round), am I right in thinking that Sam asked for "another" consonant and Rachel mistakenly picked an A from the vowel box? Or did I just mishear him saying "a vowel"? Quite a close game, especially for so late in a run -- respect to both contestants...

I predict Wynn and Chafer-Cook will get through to the first and second semi-finals, prevailing by a lot of points each time. Then Stewart Holden and Craig Beevers will crash the party and battle it out in the final.

Why does the wiki show "* *" for MARLIER - that was said so should have no "*"? Because MARLIER isn't a word. And never has been. A double asterisk is a signal that there is an administrative error afoot. If MARLIER is indeed not specified in Premium, this will be at least the second time she's don...

No it doesn't make sense, but there are plenty of one-syllable adjectives that don't make sense to stick -ER/-EST onto in this dictionary. Also, however you're generating random numbers needs to be changed, because they aren't random. These are the same numbers from Sam Prouse's game: http://wiki.a...

Is the transmission scheduled to start on 7 January? Doesn't say. Just says January 2019 I wouldn't put it past it being delayed until 14 January, due to a certain World Darts Championship that Channel 4 show.... :roll: :roll: :roll: Is it confirmed that C4 still has that in 2019? I thought Series ...
